Document Summary
Chapter 18: positive punishment procedures & the ethics of punishment. As a result, the problem behaviour was less likely to occur in the future. An aversive activity is a low- probability behaviour the person typically would not choose to engage in: although an aversive stimulus is an environmental event that can be a punisher for another behaviour. A person will try to avoid or escape from performing an aversive activity. If the client doesn"t engage in the activity on command, the change agent then uses physical guidance to make the client engage in the behaviour. Eventually the client should engage in the activity in command to avoid the physical guidance that previously followed the command: application of aversive activities, types of positive punishment procedures, overcorrection: decrease aggressive and disruptive behaviours exhibited by people with mental retardation in institutional settings.
